My only problem right now is the light. I shot some more pictures. I'm testing the water with and without direct light. So far i like what I see with copper
copper cent with light
copper cent without direct light source
But I also like what I see with the proofs. This is a shot of PCGS PF68 quarter
PCGS 1962 PF68 quarter
Lighting is flourescent? Tungsten?
Looking for PCGS AU58 Washington's, 32-63.

I am waiting about two weeks to actually purchase it. I been waiting for work to pay for mine, since I can use it there as well. Had to wait till quarter end, so I could get it figured into this quarter's budget!

For lighting I have two 75W lamps, and a 60W lamp that doesn't really move... I just play with the angles until I get them right- sometimes Reveal lights are good, sometimes soft white light- the hard thing is getting good color while not getting a reflection in a slab- for that either get the perfect angle, or I made a clouded dome from a plastic salad bowl for $4.
The 995 isn't made anymore- it's successor, the 4500, which many here use, was just discontinued.
